Abstract

In this paper, we present a frequency-domain receiver for ZP-OFDM schemes (Zero-Padded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) where the duration of the channel impulse response is a significant fraction of the duration of the OFDM block. The proposed receiver has a rela tively low complexity, allowing an FFT-based (Fast Fourier Transform) implementation. The proposed receiver is suit able to ZP-OFDM systems with very large blocks (hun dreds or even thousands of subcarriers), since it does not re quires the inversion or the multiplication of large matrixes.1
